BendBroadband deploys Arris’ Alpha iPad app

Working in conjunction with Arris, BendBroadband has launched a free iPad app that allows its subscribers to browse channel listings while watching live TV and to control their DVR settings and recordings on the go.

The Alpha app is available through iTunes. Out of the home, it allows subscribers to view their channel listings and manage their DVR recordings, which is a functionality that other cable operators, such as Comcast, have also enabled. Within the home, the Alpha iPad app serves as a remote control, and users can view guide listings up to 14 days in advance.
